Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Woah.

That is mind blowing. I knew that stuff basically evaporated, but I had no idea it was THAT MUCH. I figured there'd be debris everywhere, like this kind of thing.

Oh, you'd expect to see those kinds of scenes sufficiently far away from the centre. Closer there is also debris and so on, but being a city it is just much more. The pictures are pretty low grain but you can compare this picture of hiroshima, where the lines are about a third of a kilometre, with this picture from the ground close by the centre point. So this picture shows the area of total destruction but evaporation didn't really happen, fires like in the video did though which is pretty well documented by the hibakusha.

By the way, that building in your second picture is still standing to this day, and is now the Hiroshima Peace Memorial.

Stuff wasn't evaporated. Many people and parts of structures close to the center of the blast were burned away almost instantaneously. but what caused most of the desolation were fires burning away wooden buildings in the aftermath.

The terrain looks homogeneous because what remained was concrete and stone rubble powdered with ash.

Pffft. That ain't nothin'.

That was a tiddler. A mere 21 kilotons or so! Nothing but a stocking stuffer. That's the sort of thing they call a "tactical nuke" these days. :P

I give you the TSAR BOMB with a yield of 50 MT, or around 2400 times larger.

The idea was that the Soviet's inferior targetting would still result in an obliterated target. The US never made anything so extreme, because they had good ability to strike targets with ICBMs.

[–]ImAFingScientist[S] 5 points6 points ago

True. As a comparison the soviet TSAR could decimate the whole city of Paris in a blink.

Too bad they only made one.

The USA dropped the atomic bomb on a civilian city, twice. But remember, Iran is the bad guy.

Holy shit. That bomb etched enormous words into the ground. Crop circles? That's amateur.
